Alina

And I think of you Alina
In a dream I can’t recall
There are thousand oceans waiting
And I’m waiting on that call

On the bounds of my defenses
Far from hunger, far from pain
Don’t know where I’m going
There’s no reason to explain

I have stumbled and I triggered
Every fiber of my soul
That was lost in the illusion
The long gone before the fall

And I think of you Alina
There were times when I was sure
That life would lead me to you
Now I just try to ignore

Some may fear the fire
I’m not that easy to impress
Today the light’s a little brighter
Though that might be just a guess

I can see you dancing somewhere
There are nights I do recall
And I hope that one day
You’ll be my daughter after all
